"It's been kind of tough," Graveman told The Chronicle. "But in the long run, it's going to work out. I'm going to work as hard as I can to get back."

Graveman, who has not pitched since May 11, is 1-5 with a 7.60 ERA this season. It's the second season in a row he's battled injuries. Last season, shoulder issues limited him to 19 games.

"It does suck, it's no fun, it stinks," Graveman told the Chronicle. "With the love I have for the game, it's not easy, and it hurts right now - the guys are playing so well and I want to be out there competing with them. But it's what I've presented with. I've got to keep my head up."
